Strange internet problems on slackware?

I'm running the ath9k driver, 3.2.29 kernel. Im connected to my dlink router with dhcp, no security settings or anything. I am using NetworkManager to connect with. It works fine most of the time, but for example when I'm on google, I click on a link, it takes me to it fine. Then when I go back and press a different link, Firefox takes me to a page saying the page couldnt be loaded. Then I'll refresh it and it'll come up fine. Anybody have an idea on whats going on?

When it gives you the error, what URL is showing? Some Google page?

When you do the refresh, are you refreshing the search results page, or the page the link took you to?

Try this. Open the link to the site in a new window (from right click on the link). Then do the search again and find the same link and open it in a 2nd window. Look at the URLs in the two windows and see if they are the same. I'm suspecting some Google weirdness.
